What can I eat please 19 days banded

I for one feel so blessed to have personal access to the author of The Bandwagon!

TY Jean!

I dont think anyone is being rude but really some things that are asked should have been covered by your doctor, nutritionist. I have said it a million times and been told off a million times but your doctors are getting paid to be at your service 24 hours a day 7 days a week. When I came home from the hospital I knew what I could eat for the first 12 weeks after surgery. Your surgeons office should have provided you with a list of acceptable foods and at what stage you could have them. If they didn't then you need to call them and ask them. We all had different directions and ours might not be what your doctor wants you to have. Although it may seem simple to ask us but I agree with Jean we are not certified nutritionist to provide you with that answer then if something happens you will blame us that we told you to eat it. Not being rude but being honest and truthful

Not trying to be rude' date=' but telling

Jean, the author of Bandwagon she's rude made me lol.[/quote']

I never said she was rude did I quote her no. I said some people's response are rude doesn't mean I was taking about her

I think its a huge concern if you have't already planned out what you should be eating through each stage an what your doctor has told you to do.

Weeks before I went in for surgery I tested out so many different foods for each stage and how to eat it and made sure I enjoyed it and then checked with my doctor to make sure it was allowed. I also made sure I had all the stages completely understood and wrote them on the fridge.

You should never go into surgery and make such a big life decision if you aren't sure of a plan, or what you are suppose to do afterwards. It also worries me that your doctor hasn't supplied you with enough information.

Well everyone seems to be saying the same thing. "Stick to your Drs instructions". Hmmmm,are we all rude?

I don't think so. Everyone here wants every lap bander to succeed and the only way to do that is follow your Drs instructions and rely on your LB team, meaning surgeon,nutritionist & therapist.
